This year, with your help, Balance Hair Spa hopes to collect hundreds of toys benefiting the less fortunate members of our community, particularly during this holiday season.

You can MAKE A DIFFERENCE by donating!
Bring a new, unwrapped toy(s) to your appointment from November 14 through December 15, 2009.

Toys for Tots, the U.S. Marine Corps' premier community action program and one of the nation's flagship Christmas charitable causes, is dedicated to "delivering a message of hope and bringing the joy of Christmas" to America's needy children. By uniting members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign, Toys for Tots plays an active role in the development of one of the nation's most valuable natural resources -- our children -- thereby contributing to better communities in the future.
Balance Hair Spa invites you to share in the holiday spirit by donating new, unwrapped toys from November 14 through December 15, 2009.
